YO!! Welcome to the forums!!! This site will definetly clue you in to a lot of the finer points of 240sx's as long as you search a little. Some goodies are how to make a lazy eye setup for nothing and how to bypass the speed governer. Have fun.

Welcome 
and as suggested, search around the forums before you ask questions - we all love to learn, but chances are since you're a new 240 person, a lot of your questions are already answered somewhere here

i guess one because it was mid engine and the spacing in the turbo engine was tight....but yeah things broke a lot in the car...you fix one thing...and two things break....having this car was like having a really bad girlfriend...you try to make it work...but all you do is spend more money...and have more headache just so you can show her off to your friends....damn...hahaha
